[735] Now at that time a brahmin youth named Sagārava was residing in the village of Paccalakappa. He was a master of the three Vedas together with the Nighaṇḍu and Keṭubha treatises, together with the classification of letters, with the Itihāsa as the fifth; skilled in the texts, a grammarian, fully accomplished in the Lokāyata and in the marks of a great man. Sagārava the brahmin youth heard the brahmin lady Dhanañjānī speaking those words, and having heard, he said this to the brahmin lady Dhanañjānī: "Inauspicious indeed is this brahmin lady Dhanañjānī! Ruined indeed is this brahmin lady Dhanañjānī, in that, while brahmins versed in the three Vedas exist, she nevertheless speaks the praise of that shaveling ascetic!"
She said: "But, my dear with the auspicious face, you do not know the virtue and wisdom of that Blessed One. If, my dear with the auspicious face, you knew the virtue and wisdom of that Blessed One, you would not think, my dear with the auspicious face, that that Blessed One should be abused or reviled."
"Well then, madam, when the ascetic has arrived at Paccalakappa, you should inform me."
"So be it, my dear with the auspicious face," the brahmin lady Dhanañjānī assented to Sagārava the brahmin youth.
